GEORGE F. DOYLE, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.

COMBINED CRADLE AND CARRIAGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 234,547, dated November16, 1880.

Application filed June 15, 1880. (ModeL) To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE FRANKLIN DOYLE, of Boston, in the county ofSuifolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Combined Cradle and Carriage, of which the following is aspecification.

The invention consists in combining with the rockers of a cradle and theaxles of a carriage dowel-pins, sockets, spring-hasps, and pin, theaxles being concaved to receive the rockers, so that the rockers andaxles may be readily attached and detached, as hereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is an end View, partlyinsect-ion. Fig. 2 is a vertical section longitudinally of the body of thecradle and transversely of the rockers and axle-trees. Fig. 3 is a topview.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A represents the body of the cradle, which may be of any suitabledescription. It is provided with rockers B, attached to it by means ofscrews, nails, or bolts, or in any other suitable manner.

0 0 represent the axle-trees of a carriage, connected with each other bya reach, D. The upper surface ofeaeh axle-tree is concave, and

corresponds with the curve of the rocker B. It is also provided withdowel-pins e, for engagement with sockets f in the bottom of the rocker.

When used as a carriage the rockers rest on the concave surfaces of theaxle-trees, with the pins 0 in the sockets f, and they are secured inplace by spring-hasps H, each of which has its lower end attached to theaxle-tree, and its upper portion is provided with a hole, which engageswith a pin, 5, projecting from the rocker.

By disengaging the spring-hasps H from the pins t it is adapted to beused as a cradle; or, if preferred, it can be lifted off the axle-treeand placed upon the floor or ground.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

The combination, with the rockers of a cradle and the axles of acarriage, of the dowelpins 0, sockets f, spring-hasps H,.and pin *6, theaxles being concaved to receive the rockers, substantially as and forthe purpose specified.

GEO. FRANKLIN DOYLE.
